Canyon Crawler

Union Pacific 5483 and 7453 crawl through the north switch at Canyon in the early afternoon, as they struggle uphill with a beefy 155 car manifest train out of West Colton. The Northbound has been doing nothing but gain elevation for the past two hours just to get here, and will grind it out for another hour to the top of Cajon near Highland. Troubles for this train will reappear again near Rosamond for hot wheels and at Fleta where one of it's three mid-train units will drop a piston while setting out the rear end of the train.
